About this swimming hole
Tippecanoe River State Park protects one of Indiana's cleanest rivers, and swimmers cool off in its gentle, sandy-bottomed stretches. The slow-moving Tippecanoe is ideal for floating and wading, with canoe launches for longer trips. Oak savanna and river forest surround one of the state's most natural river swims.
